First, x++ uses the current value 7 and then updates x to 8. Next, ++y increments y to 4 and uses that value. The term y-- uses the current value 4 and then decreases y back to 3. Then --x decrements x from 8 to 7 and uses 7. Substituting all evaluated values into the expression gives x = 7 + 4 - 4 + 7, resulting in 14. T
